Tests start at CERN for large-scale prototype of new technology to detect neutrinos
…with no detector components in the middle of the liquid argon and a reduced number of readout elements at the top. “This is a very elegant design that requires advances…
Ten ways Fermilab advanced science and technology in 2024
…magnets to strongly focus the proton beams and increase the number of collisions. Fermilab innovations were crucial to making these high-field magnets possible. 6. Strengthened our leadership in quantum information…
The biggest little detectors
…particle interaction and converting it into electrons, multiplying their number and so amplifying the signal’s strength as the electrons travel down the tube. With two tricked-out detectors, the DUNE collaboration…
Department of Energy awards Fermilab $3.5 million for quantum science
…experience in conventional computing and networks, we can advance quantum science in directions that not many other places can.” As part of a number of grants to national laboratories and…
Scientists advance their vision for a muon collider
…the toughest technological challenges in colliding muons is condensing them to increase the number of collisions in the collider. Muons scatter after they are generated. Condensing the muons is like…
Large Hadron Collider upgrade project leaps forward
…number by a factor of 10. This increase in luminosity — the number of proton-proton interactions per second — means that significantly more data will be available to experiments at…
Waiting for neutrinos
…particle accelerators. But they haven’t been able to study them in supernovae, where the number of neutrinos produced is simply off the charts compared to other sources. “This is the…
